《The Elephant》歌词

[00:00:00] The Elephant - Flanders & Swann

[00:00:05] A elephant's life is tedious laborious and slow

[00:00:11] I've been an elephant all me life so I blooming well ought to know

[00:00:19] He never forgets a name or face ooooh

[00:00:23] He knows his way from place to place ooooh

[00:00:27] Remembers to be dutiful

[00:00:29] And when to push and when to pull

[00:00:32] An when he's dead the dealer calls

[00:00:34] And buys his tusks for billiard balls ooooh

[00:00:40] And all because an elephant's got a perfect memory

[00:00:46] That wasn't the life for me

[00:00:48] So I'm suffering form amnesia

[00:00:53] My mind's a perfect blank

[00:00:55] Now life is very much easier

[00:00:57] Amnesia's to thank;

[00:00:59] I'm being psychoanalysed

[00:01:01] I lie on a divan

[00:01:03] And flap me ears and try to look a barmy as I can

[00:01:08] I'm an Introverted Elephocentric Hypochondriac

[00:01:14] And I'll stick in the Elephant's nursing home

[00:01:16] Till I get me memory back

[00:01:21] I'm suffering from Hysteria

[00:01:23] I nearly split me sides

[00:01:25] To watch the others get wearier

[00:01:27] Of giving children rides;

[00:01:29] I've told my psychoanalyst

[00:01:31] That I'm a sacred cow

[00:01:33] I'd like to carry a Howdah

[00:01:35] But I can't remember how

[00:01:39] I'm an Introverted Elephocentric Hypochondriac

[00:01:43] And I'll stick in the Elephant's nursing home

[00:01:45] Till I get me memory back

[00:01:51] I suffer from Schizophrenia

[00:01:53] It comes on me in spells

[00:01:55] Sometimes I'm King of Armenia

[00:01:57] At others I'm Orson Welles

[00:01:59] I tell them I'm Napoleon

[00:02:01] And all that sort of bunk

[00:02:03] They never guess that all the time

[00:02:05] I'm laughing up me trunk

[00:02:08] I'm an Introverted Elephocentric Hypochondriac

[00:02:13] And I'll stick in the Elephants' nursing home

[00:02:15] Till I get me memory back

[00:02:19] Tra-tiddle-tumty-tumty tra-tiddletum

[00:02:22] Practising me trumpet half the night

[00:02:25] Tra-tiddle-tumty-tumty tra-tiddletum

[00:02:29] And I'll stick in the Elephants' nursing home

[00:02:31] Till I get me memory get me memory get me memory back
